The parents of LAUSD students can become more involved in their children's education, using the new Family Module. This online tool acts as a window into the daily lives of your children. Using a computer connected to the Internet, parents can log on at any time of the day to monitor their child’s progress in school.

The Family Module provides parents with the knowledge needed to quickly identify and solve problems that might hinder their child's chances of success. Families no longer need to feel in the dark about their children's academic status; the Family Module lets them act, before it is too late.

Family Module Update

The ISIS Family Module first piloted in February 2009 with 11 secondary schools. Now, the module has been enabled in elementary, middle, and senior high schools. Parents currently have access to attendance and grades (report card) information, in Armenian, Chinese, English, Farsi, Korean, Russian, Spanish, Tagalog, and Vietnamese.

Additionally, teachers who use the LAUSDMAX Gradebook can enhance the quantity of information the parents can view.

All schools have access to the Family Module now. Principals wishing to sign parents up should refer to the Family Module - Information for Schools page to access the resources available to them on that page.

School Attendance and Student Success

How does attendance affect academic success?

Regular and punctual school attendance is probably the most important factor in successful school progress.

Students frequently tardy or absent fall behind in their academics.

Excessive absenteeism contributes to failed grades and possibly dropping out of school.

Poor attendance allows students the time to engage in potentially harmful behaviors

Get Started with the Family Module

What do I need to know about registering?

The Family Module is voluntary for all schools, so not all schools may choose to implement it.

Check the list at the upper right of the page to see if your child’s school is using the Family Module.

If a student moves from one school that uses the Family Module to another school that does not, parents will still be able to log in, but will not see any information.

If your child's school does not have Family Module, express your interest in using it to the school administrator

Currently, a parent will need a separate Access Key and Username for each child, even if your children attend the same school. In the future, parents will need only one Username and Access Key for the entire family.

Contact your child's school to get the necessary registration forms and guides. To obtain an Access Key for starting an account, you must turn in the school's Parent Access Request Form, in person, and present identification proving you have legal rights to view a student's information.
